NEW YORK, Nov 26-R G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly. review of trade says: In all direc-
tons business prospects are improving, al
though the situation nowhere justifies such
speculative wildness as has appeared in some
branches. Money still goes to the west, and
even more to the south, and bankers antici-
pate some pres lure as the new year ap-
proaches; but the treasury has increased its
deposits with banks $l.572, lo2 during the
past week, and so has withdrawn from mar
ket only $780, 0O cash. Plans Of tariff re-
duction attract attention, but do
not seem as yet to have af-
fected the demand for products Exchanges
running nearly per cent above those Of cor
responding weeks last year, and railroad
earnings showing an increase exceeding 10
per cent, with shipments from Chicago by
rail ), 900 I. ms larger than for the same week
last year, indicate volume of traffic never
surpassed at this season, though reaction
from the greater activity of September
causes, in some branches, complaint of dull
ness.
The most important fact is that the invest
ment of foreign capitafin this country still
contlnues The latest evidence, sale OF 81
UO,oOO OF Northern Pacific bonds to a for
elgn syndicate, came at time when foreign
sales OF stocks seemed to foreshadow con-
trary movement In October mer-
,handise exports amounted to $I6,-
5000 the largest October report for
five years and exceeded imports by SIS, 1885,
oh7. Deducting undervaluations, interest,
and other items, the balance on merchandise
account would be not more than s., oOO, 00O,
leaving most of the net imports of specie
which were 81. 63s, 654, to represent the new
foreign capital brought hlther. In seven
months not less than $l45, UOu,0OO must have
arrived from abroad, which has gone far to
support the continued development OF rail-
roads, mines and manufactures, and the
speculation in real estate.

An Incident of the Atlanta Prohibition

New YORK, Nov. 2h-An Atlanta (Ga)
special says: The wet and dry campaign here
has assumed a novel phase. For some time a
travelling patent-medicine vender known as
yellowstone Kit" has been in the city, draw
ing large crowds..of negroes. As the negro is
the balance of power, yellowstone Kit" was
besieged by both parties to drop word ia
vorabe to their cause. One prominent Pro-
hibitiouist is said to have offered him g. 600
if he would come over to the "dry" side Ex-
governors senators, judges, ministers, and
leading business men crowded around the
curly-headed orator.
Wednesday night Kit came out for the
wet" ticket and carried the negroes with
him. They took him upon their shoulders and
carried him around. Thursday the city po-
lice, who are under Prohibition management,
stopped Kit from his usual exhibition. This
summary proceeding, coming as it did, has
aroused the anti Prohibitionists, who de-
nounce it as an attempt to suppress free
speech.
